Nearly
four years after the first edition was released, The
Phish Companion, Second Edition ("TPC2")
replaces it as the most complete
and accurate book about the band and its music. Thanks to
feedback from hundreds of fans, and thousands of hours of research
by volunteers, the new edition is more integrated, better edited,
more readable, & more complete.
Every
section was revisited - some completely revised, others purged
and filled with new content. Many feature entirely new kinds
of content. Even
the size of the book is new
as
are the cover, fonts, layout, structure, and core volunteers.
